OCI President Ron Oberth and CNA staff recently participated in a detailed and constructive conversation about export financing with knowledgeable experts.

On June 5, Export Development Canada, along with the CNA and OCI, hosted Successful Exporting for Canadian Nuclear Companies, an informative two-and-a-half hour presentation and luncheon discussing how companies can grow their business by exporting abroad.

About 20 guests took part in the event at EDC’s downtown Toronto office. It is part of the CNA’s efforts to promote members’ awareness of international opportunities.

The conversation covered EDC’s general mandate and role, client eligibility and the nuts-and-bolts of EDC’s services. To access EDC’s services, companies need not export directly. They only have to be part of an export supply chain.

EDC officers Line Charbonneau, Chris Evans and Richard Ross participated, as did Louie DiPalma of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, who described services available from the provincial level.

Is your company a member of the Canadian Nuclear Association? Do you need to know more about export financing?

If the answer to these questions is yes, you should check your calendar for Thursday June 5.

Successful Exporting for Canadian Nuclear Companies will be a two-hour lunchtime opportunity to meet with Export Development Corporation (EDC) and learn how export financing can work for Canadian firms.

The workshop is also open to members of the Organization of Canadian Nuclear Industries (OCI).

You don’t need to be a direct exporter. EDC, a federal Crown corporation, also works with companies in the export supply chain.

Watch the CNA website or the Daily NUze for a formal announcement in coming days, andbe sure to register through EDC. Space will be limited.
